1d4chan was a site devoted to the description and archival of all sorts of things interesting and relevant to [[:/tg/]] (the "traditional games" board of [[4chan]]). Unfortunately, the site owner, Root, gradually changed as a person and came to view 4chan's crude humor and foul language as problematic. He shut down 1d4chan permanently in November of 2023.
== About 2d4chan ==
This site was originally created as a mirror of 1d4chan to spite Root after he deindexed 1d4chan from search engines in 2021. 2d4chan is currently read-only. No one can edit or upload except for the owner, 2d4fag. Plans are currently underway to allow editing and account creation in the future.
== About 1d6chan ==
There is another successor site, 1d6chan. When 1d4chan disappeared, none of the other editors had the knowledge or money to host a replacement site. They eventually settled on using the free wiki-hosting service Miraheze. Unfortunately, Miraheze's Terms of Service have required them to self-censor and delete content considered problematic.

Back in the room.
I'm still not sure exactly what went wrong with the previous setup, but I'm going to blame it on the server being a possibly haunted and precariously balanced house of cards full of ancient shit held together by prayer and inertia, which is what you get when you have no motivation to maintain your infrastructure for several years. However, I've taken advantage of the unintentional downtime to spin up a new host and migrate everything to that. Performance might be wobbly for a few days while I figure out optimisation/caching again, but things should be more maintainable going forward. I think everything should be fundamentally working now, but please notify me of anything that seems broken by my talk page or email.
I've also surrendered to the march of progress and changed the default skin to the "Timeless" responsive design. I think it looks fine, but if your heart yearns for Vector (or Monobook!) again you can change the styling back in your user preferences. I'm hoping this means that Google will finally stop giving me shit in search results about my pages not being optimised for mobile.

:A brief wobble may be experienced by IPv4 users while some DNS updates propagate (TTL 1h, so shouldn't last long). I have had to reuse the old server's IPv4 address because the range the new server was allocated in appears to be on the shitlist of several email providers. --[[User:Root|Root]] ([[User talk:Root|talk]]) 10:12, 29 May 2020 (UTC)

Welcome to 2d4chan

The unofficial successor of 1d4chan

About 1d4chan

1d4chan was a site devoted to the description and archival of all sorts of things interesting and relevant to /tg/ (the "traditional games" board of 4chan). Unfortunately, the site owner, Root, gradually changed as a person and came to view 4chan's crude humor and foul language as problematic. He shut down 1d4chan permanently in November of 2023.

About 2d4chan

This site was originally created as a mirror of 1d4chan to spite Root after he deindexed 1d4chan from search engines in 2021. 2d4chan is currently read-only. No one can edit or upload except for the owner, 2d4fag. Plans are currently underway to allow editing and account creation in the future.

About 1d6chan

There is another successor site, 1d6chan. When 1d4chan disappeared, none of the other editors had the knowledge or money to host a replacement site. They eventually settled on using the free wiki-hosting service Miraheze. Unfortunately, Miraheze's Terms of Service have required them to self-censor and delete content considered problematic.

  • Are you literate?: A pretty ridiculous question, right? But unfortunately, this is a question that remains very relevant from time to time.

The problem begins when entire paragraphs become completely unreadable due to a mixture of:
